CRISIS: UCA Appeal
UCA Appeal
APPEAL FOR FINAL BLOCK. LAST OPPORTUNITY TO PARTAKE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS STATE OF THE ART CENTRE FOR THE SUPPORT, EDUCATION AND WELFARE OF A 1000 ORPHANS.
Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT) is emerging as a prominent International Non Governmental Organization (INGO) and has proved its worth within a short period of a decade by achieving landmark distinctions in emergency relief, health, water & sanitation and education services in the international arena. Its relief activities and other welfare works have won laurels for it in all countries it had operated.

This institution is built to accommodate 1000 orphans, presently the total strength of UCA students is 369 and all these orphans are provided with lodging, clothing, schooling and health care facilities. Construction of two hostels is completed for accommodating these students but UCA is facing increasing demand for accommodating more every year. The current space will eventually be increased to accommodate and educate 1000 orphans.
UAC students’ age ranges from 6 to 15yrs and our courses are up to Year 8. The core subjects taught at UCA are Computer Science, English, Urdu, Arabic, Islamiyat, Nazirah, Hifz, Quranic Translation, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Physical Training, Social Studies, History and Geography. English is the mode of education and all UCA teaching staffs are fully qualified and had graduated from universities with at least a Masters degree. The Principal is vastly experienced and has been head of the NWFP Teaching board for over 20 years. Therefore, the overall progress in the quality and standard of education so far has been outstanding.

In this quest Ummah welfare Trust (UWT) is seeking support from its valued donors and supporters to help to raise approximately GB£ 280,000 that will be required to construct more dormitories to accommodate the growing number of students.

The Prophet (PBUH) said: 'I and the guardian of the orphan will be in the Garden like that,' indicating his forefinger and middle finger.'
Uqbah bin Amir (RA) says I heard the Prophet (PBUH)say: 'Every soul shall be under the shade of his charity (on the day of judgment) until the judgment is passed on the people.'

Poverty in Pakistan is a growing concern. Although the middle-class has grown in Pakistan, nearly one-quarter of the population is classified poor as of October 2006. The declining trend in poverty as seen in the country during the 1970s and 1980s was reversed in the 1990s by poor federal policies and rampant corruption. This phenomenon has been referred to as the poverty bomb.
Wealth Distribution in Pakistan is highly uneven, with 10% of the population earning 27.6% of income. According to the United Nations Human Development Report, Pakistans human development indicators, especially those for women, fall significantly below those of countries with comparable levels of per-capita income. 40% of the population has no access to safe drinking water, and 50% has no access to sanitation. Pakistan also has a higher infant mortality rate (88 per 1000) than the South Asian average (83 per 1000).
